PLease help me simplify this!
multiply the numerators: 4y^4 5b^2 = 20 y ^4 b^2
multiply the denominators: b^4 y 6 y = 6 b^4 y^2
reduce like bases:
20 / 6 = 10/3
b^2 / b^4 = 1 / b^2
y^4 / y^2 = y^2 / 1
put it back together:
10y^2 / 3b^2
that's it! ;)
You can cross cancel like terms to make this problem easier.
4y^4/b^4y • 5b²/6y =
working with 4y^4 and 6y. Each is divisible by 2 and one y will cancel out leaving
2y³/b^4y • 5b²/3 =
now working with b^4y and 5b². Cancel out a b² from each term leaving.
2y³/b²y • 5/3 =
now working left side term you can cancel out one y leaving
2y²/b² • 5/3 = 10y²/3b²
